At the beginning of November 2013 Sears Canada announced that it would be cutting 712 appliance service and repair jobs across Canada.

Canadian employees of Sears were affected by this movement which was fully implemented in 2014. Appliance Technical Institute of Canada in Mississauga, ON will be stepping up to provide assistance to those being displaced by offering a $1500 bursary towards a diploma program of his/her choice. They will have a chance to be fully re-trained in the Appliance Service Technician Diploma program which also provides them with TSSA Gas Technician 3 and 2b Licenses.

The job cuts at Sears, along with other announced retail chain store closures such as HMV, Danier, Jacob, Smart Set, and others, has impacted thousands of Canadians. Appliance Technical Institute of Canada recognizes this impact and is determined to continue to provide support to individuals who require job-retraining.

“As a career college Appliance Technical Institute of Canada will provide training to get laid-off employees back into the workforce,” says Andrey Czupiel, the CEO of Appliance Technical Institute of Canada. “Our bursary is a financial contribution to help people explore their career options.”

Appliance Technical Institute of Canada is encouraging retail employees to visit AT Institute and atinstitute.ca to access the bursary. The bursary is applicable at the AT Institute Mississauga Campus. Simply print out the bursary and come to our location.

The bursary will help alleviate some of the stress for retail and Sears workers who have found themselves out of work and are looking at career options. Sears repair technicians and retail workers are encouraged to contact the Mississauga campus and schedule a free career training counselling session.

Appliance Technical Institute of Canada has helped many people get back into the workforce by offering specific career training, year-round starting points and substantial career services assistance to prepare students for starting a new career upon graduation.

By 2020, the Canadian Appliance Service industry will require over 20,000 workers to keep up with demand. Many organizations, appliance service and HVAC companies, and pre-apprenticeship programs are doing everything they can to make sure that more women are included in this expansion.

For years the appliance service industry has been male-dominated. Research has found that so few women enter appliance servicing and HVAC trades, not because of a lack of interest, but because of minimal exposure to available opportunities.

Appliance Technical Institute of Canada has been in long-standing support of women in the appliance servicing and HVAC industry.

At a young age women are typically guided toward what was once considered more ‘traditional’ career paths, but in 2015, this is no longer the case. Several Canadian programs have been designed to inform women of the benefits of appliance servicing and HVAC careers, and some of these programs have even partnered with employers.

The Faculty of Applied Technology at Appliance Technical Institute of Canada Opens the Doors to Many Career Paths for Women.

The appliance servicing job market offers plenty of variety, so anyone can find a job that appeals to them. For those who are technically inclined, working as an HVAC mechanic or appliance technician are great options.

The appliance servicing industry has a wide range of positions to fill and it’s becoming much easier to find rewarding work within it. Individuals who are not inclined to start a new career from scratch might consider using their transferable skills, like those mastered in administrative positions, for example, to pursue a career in appliance servicing or HVAC office management.

The Faculty of Applied Technology at Appliance Technical Institute of Canada prepares students for a variety of jobs in the field. In fact, the best schools will even match students with employers who can offer them apprenticeship opportunities that best suit their specific career goals.

Workplaces Now Accommodate All Pros with Appliance Servicing Career Training
